Solo Camping at Sawtooth Lake

Good morning from the Sawtooth Wilderness. I am at the Grand Jean Trailhead here in Idaho and my plan today is to hike out and camp at the Sawtooth Lake. Sawtooth Lake from where I'm at is about 10 to 11 miles and my plan is to hike out there by this afternoon, do some exploring around that area, spend the night, and come back tomorrow. A lot of things have changed since my last video. I moved out here in June and this is the first time I'm getting out on trail. So come with me to hike out to Sawtooth Lake. All right, feeling good. About two miles in and it's getting pretty hot. It's supposed to get up to around 90 degrees today so I shedded a layer, took the beanie off, pulled out the shades because I'm going to be blinded for probably the rest of the trail. Beautiful day. I haven't ran into anyone yet but trail conditions are great and I'm loving it. Just soaking it up. The wildflowers are beautiful. Took advantage of this stream filled up on water and going to keep making my way three o'clock, even took a nap which was great. Pulled out my food to have supper and I realized I made a big mistake which is I left my Jetboil back in my car. So no cooking, no hot chocolate, no coffee, and I was, I am definitely depressed. I had uncooked rice and tuna, some other snacks like Clif Bars but some of the other items I brought I can't cook or drink so supper tonight was kind of mid but I think this area makes up for it. My plan tonight is to try to capture some of the local spots and views just here in the area I'm in. There's some really beautiful peaks over here that live up to that Sawtooth name and I'm not going to spend too much time or energy but I do want to try to capture maybe a good sunset and what some of the views around here look like and try not to get rained on because it's been thundering like the whole time I've been here. Hello, I made it back and I have my coffee. It's the worst thing to be on trail. Well, probably not the worst thing but it was pretty bad feeling opening up my bag and realized I'm not going to make it. I'm not going to make it. I guess maybe a quick life update for me and those of you who are just now coming across my channel. I lived in Kentucky for about five years on and off through college and then got a job after college was there for a couple years and then decided to move all the way out here to Boise, Idaho. Packed up everything I owned in a U-Haul in this car, in this box that I built. A lot of my time and energy has been off trail trying to get settled in at my new home but there is a lot more content to come. I have a lot of great ideas and places to go and explore and share here on YouTube and as you probably know these videos take time. Lots of people always ask me, you know, how much time do you spend filming? You probably have to walk back and pick up your camera so many times that it's just not worth it. It adds so much time. Sometimes maybe but honestly I enjoy it. I love it and that's why I do it. I don't do it for money and I've never really taken brand deals that have paid me to do this type of thing. I do have a buy me a coffee link where you can give just a couple bucks and either literally buy me a coffee or I could use that for gas or something but that would all just be in support of me continuing to make these videos. Like I said that would just be really special. I don't do this for the money but if you would like to do something like that I'd love to give you the opportunity and buy me a coffee. Should be in my description. Alright well this has been a great trip. Moral of the story, plan better, eat better, bring your jet boil. Alright thanks for watching guys. Keep exploring. We'll see you in the next one. Absolute gorgeous day mate. Absolutely beautiful.
